I replied belatedly on April 20 saying what I did matches (more or less)
how it's done on various other platforms, including arm and powerpc. It
looks like this comes from the pt_regs structure defining the registers
as an array instead of a list of structure fields. It looks to me like
that design choice is pretty widely depended upon now and would be quite
disruptive to change. It also seems to me a relatively clean way to do
it on systems with a uniform register set.

The registers (except for pc, pstate, and sp) are not separate structure
fields, they are slots in a single array. To reference them the symbolic
name has to be converted to an index (integer register number) somehow.

Common header *and* .c files? Yes, I see your point.

Also makes sense and looks doable.
